The greeting that Vivian Wilson refers to in the long interview with Teen Vogue was the straight-armed hand that Elon Musk raised in a victory speech, when Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term on January 20. The gesture caused a great debate about whether it was a Nazi greeting or not. Musk has dismissed the allegations.
In the interview, the 20-year-old Wilson also talks about what it's like to be a trans person and at the same time be the child of Musk. Elon Musk has previously said that the "woke virus" killed his son (Vivian), and now supports Trump's policy, which severely limits the opportunities for trans people in the USA.
I haven't spoken to him since 2020. It's almost half a decade ago, thank God, she says.
Although Vivian Wilson hasn't appeared in any traditional media since the presidential election, she has made her voice heard on social media, where she has millions of followers. She avoids the platform X, which is owned by Musk.
On several occasions, she has distanced herself from the politics that her father represents. Taking a stand against the world's richest man doesn't scare her.
He's a pathetic man-baby. Why should I be afraid of him? she says.
Vivian Wilson is one of Elon Musk's older children. He has at least twelve children and is part of a movement that advocates for increased reproduction – in recent months, information about two more children has been revealed.
I can say that I actually don't know how many siblings I have, says Wilson.
